E-Z Clip Series Fitting, 1-1/16-14 Female O-Ring (Short Pilot), -12 Hose, 90 deg Elbow

Cut the hose square, then slide two clips onto the cut end before doing anything else. Lubricate the nipple with compressor oil compatible with your refrigeration or A/C system and don't skip that step, it's what lets the nipple seat without a fight. Push the nipple in until there's no gap between the hose end and the shoulder on the nipple. Snap the cage into the groove on the nipple, and you'll know it's seated right when the cage can rotate freely in that groove. Slide both clips over the cage arms into the channels, then use the FT1357 Clip Closing Pliers to close them. Keep the pliers square on the connection points the whole time you're closing.

This E-Z Clip fitting is designed for reliable performance. The key to its longevity, especially in systems with frequent cycling, is proper installation and ensuring the hose and other components are also rated for that kind of use. Pay special attention to the assembly instructions, particularly lubricating the nipple.

It matches a -12 hose and uses a 1-1/16-14 Female O-Ring Seal connection with a short pilot, built as a 90 degree elbow. The catalog number shown for this configuration is C1EY90, and the supplier part number is FJ5985-1212S.
